Sun, Feb 26, 2012 Heck, in one round trip from Gardena to the Rafu office, I burn up more gas than my relatives do in ten days. And one round trip from Gardena to Las Vegas covers more miles than my relatives on Maui drive in nearly five months.
Enuff said.

I wonder how much traffic in Los Angeles would be reduced if the city passed a law similar to the one that was recently enforced in Dallas, Texas.
Under the new law in Dallas, if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and the driver is unable to show proof of insurance, the car is towed.
To retrieve the car after being impounded, the owner must show proof of insurance. This makes it easy for the city to remove uninsured cars.
Shortly after the “no insurance” ordinance, the Dallas impound lot began to fill up and was completely filled after only nine days.
The drive must not only provide proof of insurance to have the car released, but has to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine and $20 for every day the car is kept in the lot.
Accident rates are going down and Dallas’ solution gets drivers off the road without making them show proof of nationality.
Wonder how the ACLU and the Justice Department will get around the new ordinance.

Being named on the list of “Top 50” doesn’t seem like much.
However, when the number of hospitals in the United States is considered, being on such a list is a lot more meaningful.
The Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance was recently named one of the top 50 hospitals in the U.S.
I guess I am mentioning this because over the years I’ve been hospitalized at Little Company of Mary a few times and marveled at the way I was treated, from the front office registration staff to the nurses and doctors.
On those occasions, I often wondered if hospitals were ever rated for the way they conduct themselves.
Well, the recent ranking answers that question.
By the way, I wonder if there is a list of the number of hospitals in the United States.
If we assume that every state has at least 100 hospitals, that would bring the number to 5,000.
Of course, some of the less populated states wouldn’t’ have 100 hospitals, but the larger ones, like California, would probably have more, so the 100-hospital average would be met.
Since I’m pretty sure the folks at Little Company of Mary don’t read the Rafu, they won’t know of my praise for them.
